On page 5, paragraph 11:

 

Incorrect:

¶11        The Committee and Petitioners filed expedited appeals in this Court pursuant to A.R.S. § 19-161(B).  The Committee challenges the constitutionality of §§ 19-102.01(A) and 19-118(C), and the trial court’s decision to disqualify the non-appearing subpoenaed circulators’ petition signatures.  Because the parties agree that the validity of the signatures gathered by the non-appearing circulators is dispositive as to whether the Initiative qualified for inclusion on the November 2018 ballot, we do not consider Petitioners’ appeal.

 

Correct:

¶11        The Committee and Petitioners filed expedited appeals in this Court pursuant to A.R.S. § 19-122(A).  The Committee challenges the constitutionality of §§ 19-102.01(A) and 19-118(C), and the trial court’s decision to disqualify the non-appearing subpoenaed circulators’ petition signatures.  Because the parties agree that the validity of the signatures gathered by the non-appearing circulators is dispositive as to whether the Initiative qualified for inclusion on the November 2018 ballot, we do not consider Petitioners’ appeal.


Constitutionality Decision

Upholding the constitutionality of A.R.S. § 19-118(C), which requires registered petition circulators properly served with a subpoena to provide evidence in an action regarding circulation of petitions and invalidates signatures collected by a circulator who fails to appear or produce documents as provided for in the subpoena.

 Constitutionality Decision

Upholding the constitutionality of A.R.S. § 13-751(F)(12) against the challenge that it provides inadequate guidance, is overly vague, applies to more than only a subclass of defendants, and does not require a sufficient causal relationship between the aggravator and offense.


Affirming the holding of State v. Hidalgo, 241 Ariz. 543 (2017), cert. denied, 138 S. Ct. 1054 (2018), that the Arizona death penalty statutory scheme does not violate the Eighth or Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution or article 2, sections 4 and 15 of the Arizona constitution.
